The next time you find yourself in competition for a parking spot or reaching for the same bunch of fruit or vegetables as another shopper – give whatever it is away to your competitor freely and with your blessings. Here, you’re making the choice to forego something in exchange for peace of mind and less stress. You’ll have to deal with going without whatever you gave up, but at least you can feel better about your act of kindness.
